An incredible debt of gratitude goes to the late Gideon Sofer, a long-standing
advocate for raising Crohn's awareness, for fighting for rights of disabled students, and incredible friend. His fight lives on in this project.

My parents,
Holly
and
Ted Ahrens,
for their love and support during those
difficult years of illness and for their invaluable and uncountable support today.

My first startup investor,
Paul Graham,
for his
priceless startup guidance, and my
first professional mentor,
Jamie Cheng,
who took a wild chance on me as a young undergraduate and fueled me with experience I needed to improve the world
through technology.

Great gratitude also goes to
Frazier Cunningham
and
Michael Iskander,
early brainstormers and
sources of inspiration.

And last but not least to all the people who have chronic medical conditions out there who have touched me emotionally.
